I keep thinking about resubbing now instead of waiting, but then I realize I might as well just flush the money down the toilet.
I'm still not 100% sure I'm getting WoD right away. It seems to be a little lackluster. I can already tell the Garrison is just a timesink device.
Help my guild kill Garrosh.......
If it's not Tues-thurs when I raid in Wildstar I have no issue with that.
Well, it helps you to get faster to the endgame. And WoD quest items don't really rate that high, unless you're all in LFR stuff or something. If you're in heroic purples, you won't replace them until max (and have everything enchanted etc)
I resubbed and am now leveling a lock. I really want to get the Challenge Mode set before 6.0 comes out. I'm actually having a good time leveling up, warlocks are a lot more interesting than when I last played them (re: tbc).
Would love to kill Garrosh for wolfy mount but I don't think that'll happen.

I have been a bit bored lately, first time since returning.
Beta has been ramping up and so have things int he guild, which is awesome but i find myself finishing all i need to finish in the span of a few days, leaving the entire rest of the week to do with as i wish.
Im glad xillia 2 is on tuesday, should soak up a majority of the week for me.

Hopefully by next weekend i should have put my lock at a reasonably ilvl to get a spot in our guild hc kill..
Using a friend char to do hc rubs me the wrong way, but my char had TERRIBLE luck i'm normal mode drop.. Did flex, normal, lfr and my ilvl is like 554... I must be cursed, i go to a raid with my tono, no drop i. Cloth of for caster.. I go with other toon, and we drop immerseus binding hc warforged... Happened two times straight...

My normal+ raiding days are behind me. Can't commit to the schedules. So I'm all in Flex gear or worse.
What's this gear transformation thing?
I didn't know about it either. Quest rewards in WoD can randomly upgrade as a perk, green turning blue or rarely purple etc.
This was a 510 green on the 'pick your reward' window. Confused the hell out of me.
That screen reminds me of the changes to stats. I appreciate the stat squish a lot. Numbers being inflated to asinine proportions where I can work out very little in my head and so much screen space is taken up by oodles of digits was nauseating. It was just hard to look at in general. Glad that things have become a bit more neat and tidy.
I just started on Friday with a Starter Account and have made it to level 15. So far I'm enjoying it a bit, but I feel like it's sorta hard to figure out what else I can do in the game. Nobody talks, which I assume is a server population issue, plus the game isn't clear on any sort of direction. I started as a Draenei Warrior and have made it to a second island via a flight station. I'm by the area near Malfurion right now, but I've never seen a single town or highly populated area. Any tips for continuing so it doesn't get stale? I'd like to get into WoW, but feel I need some pointers.
Every leveling zone is a ghost town you'll only see people at high levels, hell most people just chain dungeons to level these days, they literally stay in the same spot just doing consecutive dungeons
So, your initial questing experience as a draenei is going to be a bit outdated, but still MOSTLY guided, really the easiest way to learn the basics is to READ THE TUTORIALS as they pop up, and follow the quests where they take you. You'll outlevel some of it too quickly because they've adjusted levelling speeds, but if you actually do the quests in a zone in order they're VERY good about leading you the correct way. If you feel overwhelmed you may want to try one of the other races, either newer or older. Draenei and Blood elf are in a special bubble of 'old' style content, where every other race was either so old it got revamped, or is new since that era anyway. Questing tends to be very hand-holdy in terms of where it leads you, but since it's an MMO you're also free to just go somewhere else at any time which can be daunting and confusing if you don't know what you're doing.
The BASIC levelling experience:
Make a character, follow the !s and tutorials as they give em to you, and it should lead you solidly from zone to zone to zone. If you find you're not getting enough XP or get bored, you can go into the capital cities once you've found them (around level 8-10 I think for most races) and there are Hero's Call boards there, look like big billboards with exclamaition marks over them. These will ALWAYS send you to a level appropriate zone for questing if you feel you don't know where to go, and then you can just follow that quest chain. Starting at 15 you can hit 'i' to bring up the dungeon finder window and get matched up for dungeons and such. That's pretty much it for the levelling experience at it's most basic level. there are a LOT of other systems to interact with and things to do, like pet battles and such, but they're not integral to the basic gameplay in that way.
Nah, They're all cross-realm, it coalesces lots of servers together in underpopulated zones. They'll rarely be bustling but there will be people. Draenei and BE starting areas are special, nobody uses them.
I have Zygor, best money i spend because yes it removes all the clutter of annoying quests and streamlines what you need to do.
As a veteran i just want to level the best and easiest way to go to 90. If your totally new just do well everything if possible but to me i just want to get it done and that's why i bought for both alliance and horde questing guides.

Well, I mean it's not worth 60 bucks or whatever. That's insane.
mmm might want to be careful with that wording
Why? it's a guide and totally works always up to date. It isn't against Blizzard TOS. If you want the best guide to level from horde or alliance from 1 to 90 those guys made the best and i leveled a few with this and it just works they put a lot of work in it to go the fastest route and xp. Btw it's 50 dollars total for Alliance and Horde leveling guides. Like i said i don't have the time these to stroll around every single area and do every single quest. This guide provides me what needs to be done.

They hand out free samples of their guide, its better to get it that way than to pay for it. It's nice and all, but it's not worth the money imo.
Trial doesn't give you the whole shabang from 1 to 90. Guess you never knew that? It's a trial and limited to around level 20 and just a few other small examples of there other guides it's a small piece of the pie. How can you know it's not worth it? I am playing with this for a whole year now and it's fun to level new alts this way.

Anyway does anyone think its funny that the Warcraft movie will be released in the middle of WoD and essentially the two most up-to-date Warcraft products will be telling the original story, and then the alternate reality version of that story?
People are gonna be so confused.

Little question here guys, I haven't played WoW for ages and my first character is a lvl 67 Paladin. I wanted to jump online to have a quick look around so used the 10 trial thing for Mist of Pandaria.
Now my question is will have to make a new character as these things have a lvl 20 limit or can I still play with my Paladin? If not I might hold the download until I go to bed.

You'll have a level 20 limit and it'll be a separate account from your 67. But it might not be a bad idea to trial, as the game has changed a ton.

I joined when Cataclysm was the newest expansion and played mostly by myself which was alright I guess now they have some kind of matchmaking instance system (didn't have that when I had a trial in '06).
Getting there.

Got free fire today. Holy balls.
With level 90 boosts readily available for $60, why even bother paying for a levelling guide anymore?
And just think, the film will actually be telling its own version of the original story; no doubt there will be variations and streamlining done from the original WC story.

That torso armor also looks proportionally distorted. Also inferior to the original.

I love Pokken!
At least you guys are in the beta... ;_;
You think that's bad, look at my hunter =P
LOL they destroyed what was by far the best human female face (my old warlock used to have that face, the only time I ever played a human)
im not impressed at all with these models in practice, and ive especially been thinking about how actually important they are for anyone outside of RPers, as I know I always use helmets showing, as do 95% of the players I see out and about on their tier sets and whatnot, so in the end, all this work on the new faces wont even be seen on most models
also this

We can end the page with this nightmarish thing
There are good faces for all of these, but some of the translated faces are a bit funky. That human one you posted is woof. But a lot of em are decent. I think they're having a hard time making the more 'generic' races not look samefacey, human females are all similar, etc. The distinct ones look way more different.
if they dont give every one of our characters a free remodel they are batshit insane out of their goddamn minds if the differences end up being this severe
